Of anonymity, blazing cats and howling hypocrisy.

Have I felt it unethical to blog anonymously? - yes the issue has been of concern to me.

So our first revelation is that Mr. Lemaire is an idiot, since there's nothing whatsoever unethical about blogging anonymously, and I see no reason for him to apologize for it, but that's when the douchebagitude starts, as Lemaire's sidebar reads:

In Canada, saying the wrong thing even in jest can drag you through Star Chamber tribunals and commissions without the benefit of due process, can bankrupt you, destroy your career and your family, result in lifetime bans on free speech and expression (of the Gospel, no less) and ultimately even lead to imprisonment.

A commenter at BCF is threatening to file a Section 13 complaint against me.

Finally!!

I've been TRYING to get a "hate speech" complaint for years now, by purposefully saying politically incorrect things about every ethnic group, including my own, on this blog.

I'm thinking that it would be nice if Mr. and Mrs. Blazing Stupid Racist could get their stories straight. Seriously, it's hard to whinge on about the horrific trampling of free expression in Canada when you can't get busted for that even when you're trying.

Or am I the only person who noticed that logical disconnect?

CORRECTION: I had thought BCF/Lemaire was a Blogging Tory. I stand corrected.

CONNED! One wonders if TVO's Steve Paikin is feeling ever so suckered since -- as Ti-Guy points out in the comments -- Lemaire was all over Paikin's blog, posting as BCF and supporting the little woman. If Paikin had any principles, he should at least have the class to be embarrassed.

What's especially funny is his attempt to claim some moral credit - "to take the wind out their sails" - by heroically "coming clean" - at 11:01 am, half an hour AFTER being busted.

We can but hope they are both past child-bearing age, and that layoffs at Imaginit Technologies force the happy couple to relocate to Imaginit's branch in Kuala Lumpur. His views on Islam are sure to be a huge hit in Malaysia.

Hey Richard, I was just looking at your library of mostly in-copyright works on your lil' website, there... would it be too much effort for you to read the authors' names from the stolen work you've uploaded, just to make sure you're spelling them correctly?

where'd you come up with "2 hours", out of curiosity?He's examining his site access logs, trying to figure out which IP number is you. All that UTC time conversion, and he forgot that daylight time has started so he's trying to fish enough details to complete targeting.

A thousand pardons, JJ. I should always remember to time shift when referring to wingnut congress.

I thought BCF was a woman too, but some wingnut insisted a while back that he was a man.

I really detest that blogger. He's the most compulsive gossip-monger in the entire cybersphere. Everywhere you go, there's Mr. Kathy Shaidle repeating some rumour or smear. He filled up TVO's The Agendablog that addressed Shaidle's appearance on that show.

Okay, no more pussy footing around. You guys all suck ass on this topic. You remind me of cartoon hyenas - and usually only Blogging Tories remind me of cartoon hyenas. Get bent, stuffed, blow it out your ears.

Yeah, yeah - now I'M the bad guy. ALL middle-aged women have anger issues, Cherniak_WTF. But, a mob's a mob. And I'm really disappointed in everybody right now. Not necessarily surprised, sadly, but disappointed.

I'm staying on my high horse until Easter, by the way. Then my Christ complex gives way to summer fun.

Having to come to this kind of late..(and from the future... time zones are so tricky) I think that this outing may well be a bit different since BCF has a history of providing cover for FFoI from behind his screen of anonymity...

I think more than the outing is the shedenfreude involved in anything bad happening ot FFoI.
